Its time to try something new and bring in some creativity.  If you can sign Reiff for 13M then bring him in start him at LT.  Put Jonah at RT and that allows you to draft anyone at 5 or even move back.  

I've seen Jonah for 10 games out of 26.  Is that truly enough games to say he's your long term starting left tackle?  Just sayin.

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, this may not be the worst thing.  If we do lose out out on Golladay to them that might mean Evan Engram hits a weakened TE market.  I couldn't kick Uzomah's ass to the curb any faster to sign Engram.

He missed his rookie year because of an elective surgery that the team and he agreed to do for long-term purposes. He could have played his rookie season without the surgery, like he did his last year at Alabama.
And in 2020, he played 10 games. If someone plays 10 games, that's not really "missing a lot of time."
Realistically, if he can play 12-13 games a season, that's considered durable in my book.

Is it not missing a game? Is it just missing 5 or less?

(03-18-2021, 02:21 PM)TJ528 Wrote: To me durability isnt what we've seen the first 2 seasons of our "supposed" long term LT.  

If he's going to be durable, maybe you miss one game a season due to being nicked up a little bit. 

I dont think you can miss  a 1/4 of the season and say oh yea he's durable and get paid $18M for that. 

If that's durability lets draft another LT and see how his durability is.

Hendrickson is = to or slightly better than Lawson.  We still need T, WR and G. I honestly wouldnt be surprised if Hart is Starting RT and we Go Chase or Devontae Smith. Draft a G in round 2 and go into the season with current roster.

I would call him durable. I understand football is physical and injuries occur but if I am paying a guy a second contract for big dollars, I want evidence that he is likely to be on the field 90+% of the time. Again, he has 3 seasons left to show it and he very well may and I hope he does, but he hasn't yet.
